84_84070 Wolf Juxu Mountain, this place name, in history and a person can be said to be inseparable.

Huo Quai, the great Sima hussar general during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty in China, the nephew of the famous general Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, known as a generation of war gods, 17-year-old two Dingxiang, 19-year-old three expeditions to Hexi, 21-year-old across the desert north, breaking the Huns, the real young hero, the pride of the sky.

In 119 B.C., Huo Qubing led his troops to defeat the Xiongnu, with a loss of 10,000, beheaded more than 70,000, captured three Xiongnu princes, and 83 people including the general Xiangguo, and chased all the way to Wolf Juxu Mountain.

Legend to this mountain, the Huns have long been far away, Huo to the sick horse immediately under the mountain, look around, see the sad wind and sand, there is emotion, then ordered people to bulldoze the mountain, and then Huo Qu sick to climb the mountain, the south of the Central Plains, set up an altar to worship the heavens, and set up a monument on the mountain to commemorate, to show that this place is accepted as the territory of the Han family from now on.

This is the famous wolf Juxu in history.

After that, Huo Qubing continued to lead the army to pursue the Xiongnu in depth, until he reached Hanhai, which is now the area of Lake Baikal in Russia, before returning to the army. After this battle, the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan, and the Han Dynasty ended the war with the Xiongnu for nearly a hundred years.

And this year, Huo Quzhi was only twenty-one years old.

Since then, it has become a myth, and it has also become the highest pursuit of the life of Chinese soldiers in all dynasties, the dream of lifelong struggle, which not only symbolizes the greatest feats, but also the highest commendation for the military generals.

However, Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of 24, leaving only one son, named Huo Heng, but the history books record that Huo Cheng followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and died soon after, at the age of about ten years.

Since then, Huo Quai's descendants have been cut off, but his half-brother Huo Guang succeeded two people for him, one is called Huo Shan, the other is called Huo Yun, and later Huo Guang has controlled the government for decades, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but only two years after his death, because the Huo family's rebellion was exposed, thousands of families related to the Huo family in Chang'an City were killed, and almost the entire family was executed.

However, this does not affect Huo Quzhi's exploits in the slightest, in the record of famous generals in the past dynasties, there must also be Huo Quzhi's name, this young hero who was named the champion Hou, a generation of war gods, even today, descendants are still infinitely looking forward to his demeanor, Huo Quai's tomb, the statue of the Huns, has also become his indelible feat

But I know this history completely, but what does this wolf Juxu have to do with the disappearance of gold?

I looked at Lao Pan in confusion, but his next words made me even more deeply confused.

He said that the disappearance of gold he was talking about was not the disappearance of the golden head, but the secret of the disappearance of gold in Chinese history.

I haven't heard of this, there must have been cases of gold loss in Chinese history, but what's the fuss about?

Lao Pan smiled and said, this is not an ordinary gold loss, because the amount lost is too large, almost equivalent to two-thirds of the gold reserves of the entire China at that time.

I was scared and lost two-thirds of my gold reserves, my God, what's this concept? Which dynasty is this? How did you lose it?

Lao Pan said that the era of losing gold was probably in the Western Han Dynasty, when Huo Qu's illness was in the same period, but how to lose it, this question, not only I want to know, but everyone in all dynasties has not figured it out.

He said that the disappearance of gold in ancient China had attracted attention as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, had investigated the matter, he said, "The Western Han Dynasty gave gold to use, and modern times are rare goods, why not?" ”

This means that in the Western Han Dynasty, all rewards were given in gold, but in modern times it has become a rare thing, why is this?

But this investigation was inconclusive, and later generations have never been able to figure out the reason.

As for how later generations found that since the Western Han Dynasty, the sudden decrease in gold is very simple, in ancient China, gold was not a currency in circulation, and its main use was that the emperor used it to reward the military generals, so the emperor's reward for gold can be examined The changes in the amount of gold at that time can be examined.

For example, it is recorded in the Book of Han that during the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor rewarded gold more than 100 times, with a total amount of 900,000 catties, while the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty rewarded gold only 9 times, only 20,000 catties.

From 900,000 catties of gold to 20,000 catties, how big is the difference? Of course, this doesn't fully explain anything, and it may be that the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was more picky.

But if you look at it more carefully, the total amount of gold rewarded during the Western Han Dynasty alone from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reached 870,000 catties, which is almost equal to all the total rewards during the Western Han Dynasty, which means that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the amount of gold rewards has fallen by nearly 100 times.

However, this may also show that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too generous, and almost all the gold was given to him, so that it flowed into the people, and the gold reserves of the royal family would be almost empty.

But is this possible? Which emperor will reward and empty all the family resources? Besides, gold is a mineral, and as long as there is a gold mine, it can be mined forever, and there will be no gold reserves that are emptied due to rewards.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in Chinese history that since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there has been a large number of disappearances of gold in China.

Later generations have also analyzed many possibilities, and have made several explanations, but it is generally believed that the biggest possibility is: flowing into foreign countries, or being buried in the ground.

This is the most mysterious mystery of the disappearance of gold in China, until today no one has been able to solve its truth, and most of the current gold, most of which are mined by later generations, there have been people who have said that there was not much gold in ancient times, because there was no advanced mining technology, and the gold at that time actually refers to currency, or brass and other things.

But this statement is also untenable, the truth of history, has never been we can see clearly in the history books, in the long history, there have been countless miracles that have amazed future generations, such as the magnificent Taishan Underground Palace, and more than ten meters high golden colossus, if not we see it with our own eyes, who will believe it?

That's right, the Golden Colossus!

When I thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I hurriedly said to Lao Pan: "The gold you said is missing, will it have anything to do with the gold colossus, think about it, the gold colossus is at least a few dozen tons, if it is all gold, then"

I quickly calculated in my mind and said excitedly: "If there are fifty tons of gold, that's, that's, that's 100,000 catties!" Perhaps, it is the missing gold of ancient China! ”

Lao Pan laughed again, but his face didn't even change, and said to me: "It's just 100,000 catties, don't make a fuss, don't you forget what I just said, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave out nearly 900,000 catties of gold just as a reward, these 100,000 catties are just a drop in the bucket." ”

I calculated it again, 100,000 catties and 900,000 catties, this is really a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the ancient way of weighing is different from now, at that time a catty is now a catty and six taels, if you calculate it like this

I suddenly felt a little dizzy, the ancient people were really rich!

Lu Haikong, who had been sitting next to him, suddenly said to us sternly: "So, that golden head is actually just an introduction, we found during the investigation that a team suspected of being a green snake organization came to the area of Wolf Juxu Mountain, so I suspect that the lost gold in the Western Han Dynasty is likely to be buried here, because this is a deserted place, and Huo Qubing received a lot of rewards back then, but decades after his death, the Huo family fell, and those countless treasures, although some of them were confiscated, However, most of their whereabouts remain unknown. ”

I was amazed, "Do you doubt that all the gold and treasure are buried under the Wolf Juxu Mountain?" ”

Lu Haikong said: "We don't have evidence of this yet, but there is evidence that those people used a cart to transport the gold head here, so we suspect that they probably want to bury the gold head at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, so it can be inferred that this is a burial place for gold or treasure." Even their strongholds and nests. ”

I finally understood completely, it turned out that Lu Haikong was going to smash Huanglong, I couldn't help but secretly admire his style of acting and thunderous methods, and in just a few days, he was able to touch the other party's hometown.

While we were talking, the sky was gradually darkening, Lu Haikong stood up, looked at the sky, looked into the distance, and waved to us: "It's almost time, all of you have it, ready to go!" ”。
